Staying Authentic and Being Successful in the Legal Profession

OSBA Leadership AcademyJanuary 27, 2017presented by Vinita Mehra

On January 27, 2017, the Ohio State Bar Association Leadership Academy
invited Vinita to speak at their first meeting of the year. After a previous
presentation for the OSBA received extremely high reviews, Vinita was asked to
return and give an encore to her presentation on “Staying Authentic and
Being Successful in the Legal Profession.” In it, Vinita lays out a four-part
path to success for new lawyers, including (1) being true to one’s heritage,
(2) creating a personal brand without compromising one’s cultural authenticity,
(3) earning leadership roles in community and trade groups, and (4) balancing
motivation with patience.
